The 2017 Model Year
Range Rover Sport is the first full-sized Land Rover SUV to feature a
four-cylinder diesel engine with twin sequential turbochargers.
The 2-litre SD4 Ingenium produces
240 bhp and 500Nm of torque, and is claimed capable of returning 45.6 mile/gal
on the EU combined cycle with emissions of 164g/km (manufacturer’s estimated
data).
The introduction of a second turbocharger to
the Ingenium engine has been significant in retaining the impressive power
output and strong torque characteristics familiar to Range Rover Sport
customers. The advanced engine is the first Jaguar Land Rover-built unit to
feature series sequential turbo technology.
Vehicles
fitted with the new engine will be distinguished by a single twin-exhaust
configuration. Other derivatives retain the existing set-up, with a single
exhaust on each side of the rear bumper.
Elsewhere in
the range, the 3-litre V6 supercharged engine
features lightweight all-aluminium construction. Combining supercharging with
direct-injection and variable intake, as well as incorporating exhaust valve
timing, this engine also has a single balancer shaft to enhance smooth-running
and refinement.
The supercharged
V6 achieves 340 bhp and 450Nm of torque combined with CO2 emissions
of 243g/km. JLR claims a 0-60 time of 7.1s. In contrast, the latest twin-turbo
engine gives a 0-60 time of 8.0s
